Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 50

Chapter 50 Nanjiang Crown Prince
After the servant went out, the Crown Prince sat alone in his chair and closed his eyes to rest. It had been more than two months. Ying Ran, are you alright? Where exactly are you? How’s our baby? Don’t you miss me?

Yes, you said that as long as I marry another person, you will leave. You should be cold-hearted towards me, right? Don’t you know that even if I marry Helian Lanying, I won’t touch her? Why don’t you give me a chance to explain?

Don’t you know that I don’t like to get in touch with people? Ying Ran, ah, Ying Ran, looks like we still don’t know enough.

Just as the Crown Prince was recuperating, someone pushed the door open and entered. When the Crown Prince heard the noise, he saw that it was Nalan Jinhong. He immediately sat up straight and said, “Sit down. I called you here today to help me with something. It’s very important. I need you to personally help me. It might be related to the survival of Ye Lan. I hope you can pay attention to it.”

“What happened? It’s so serious.” Nalan Jinhong had never seen such a serious Huyan Mingshuo before, so he became nervous.

“I feel that Father Emperor is very unusual lately. He is getting more and more confused, and he is often listless. He is handling things differently from before, and he simply does not listen to other people’s persuasion.

I’m afraid that someone might be motivating Father. Last time I went to the Great Wei Kingdom, I heard that the Emperor of the Great Wei Kingdom was also in this situation. Later, I found out that the imperial concubine in the palace poisoned him, so that he could control his mind so that the Emperor of the Great Wei Kingdom could act according to her thoughts.

So I was wondering if someone had used the same method to control Father Emperor, so I wanted you to find out if there were any suspicious people or things. ”

When Huyan Mingshuo was in the Great Wei Empire, he had also investigated the background of the Great Wei Kingdom. Therefore, when he saw the current situation of the Emperor, he thought of the situation of the Great Wei Empire at that time. That was why he had such suspicions.

‘”Yes, I was just about to tell you something. Recently, a group of people appeared in the Imperial Capital. They are also gathering intelligence. Their sources of information are more extensive. They have received information about many things that happened in other countries before us.”

Nalan Jinhong’s face was filled with irritation. He had run the intelligence department for Huyan Mingshuo for many years, There had never been anyone who had intelligence earlier than him, but now there was actually someone who had gotten intelligence earlier than him. Although he was unwilling, he still told Huyan Mingshuo truthfully so that he could figure out a solution in time. After all, having such a group of people around was a threat to them.

“Do you know who they are?” This kind of feeling was quite bad. It was like a blind man touching an elephant. Everyone else already knew everything, but he was still groping around blankly.

‘”At present, I only found out that it has something to do with Tian Yi Villa. Perhaps they already have clues about what you want to investigate. It is said that Manager Zhou of Tian Yi Villa has been traveling in and out of various countries recently. There must be a wide range of sources of information.”

It had to be said that Young Master Nalan had guessed correctly. This was also the reason why Fu Yingran wanted to meet the Emperor.

Two days ago, according to Ying Ran’s original rules, everyone met at the beginning of each month to exchange information. At that time, Zhou Qing said, “Eldest Miss, something big has happened. This little one just came from the Southern Region. I heard that the Southern Region Crown Prince has already come to Ye Lan.”

“The little one is still in the Southern Border branch and found out that the Southern Border Crown Prince’s purpose in coming to Ye Lan this time is to subvert Ye Lan and kill you and His Highness the Crown Prince.”

“Crown Prince Nanjiang? Let me see if I have thrown his son into the well. Otherwise, there will be a deep hatred that will drive me out.” Ying Ran tried her best to recall. After all, her life was at stake. However, after thinking for a long time, she did not know when she had offended the Southern Crown Prince.

Actually, Ying Ran did have something to do with other people’s children. Although she didn’t throw her son into the well, she threw him from the Great Wei Imperial Palace to the Ling Palace. That’s right, it was Imperial Concubine Shu’s son, Fu Zitao. That was the seed of the Southern Crown Prince. Of course, these were the last words.

“Young miss, I heard that the Crown Prince of Nanjiang has yet to get married. He still doesn’t have a son to carry you.” Hearing Ying Ran’s words, Zhou Qing rolled her eyes and looked at her with a look of disgust. Wouldn’t this young miss be able to rely on some common people?

Seeing Zhou Qing’s gaze, Ying Ran was slightly annoyed. “Put away that gaze of yours, this miss can only stand for it.”

“Alright then, you have to be careful yourself. The people in Nanjiang are all good at poisoning, so it’s impossible to guard against them.” Zhou Qing saw that she wasn’t concerned at all and had no choice but to remind her solemnly.

After Zhou Qing reminded her, Ying Ran suddenly remembered Sun Shuyuan’s Soul Devouring Gu. This was the match. No wonder Ying Ran had been suspicious ever since she saw Helian Lanying during the wedding.

She always felt that Helian Lanying was familiar. Seeing that she always made people feel alert for no reason, now that Zhou Qing mentioned the Gu insects in the southern border, she suddenly thought of Sun Shuyuan.

In contrast, Helian Lanying looked too much like the Sun Shuyuan sisters. Moreover, they all had the same fragrance. No wonder Fu Yingran instinctively didn’t want to meet Helian Lanying. This was actually subconsciously controlling her.

Thinking of this, Ying Ran hurriedly instructed Jin’er, “Jin’er, Zhou Qing, hurry up and investigate the relationship between the Zuoxian Palace and the Sun Shuyuan sisters. Hurry up and find out within two days.”

“Yes, Eldest Miss, we’ll do it immediately.” Seeing Ying Ran’s serious expression, the two of them began to pay attention and immediately turned around to go out to do some work.

Two days later, the two of them also found out about the situation. They immediately sent someone to report the news to Fu Yingran. Helian Lanying and the Sun family sisters were cousins. Ying Ran thought for a while and decided to go into the palace to talk to the Emperor. After all, Helian Lanying was his daughter-in-law.

Ying Ran sent someone to send the post to the palace. At this moment, Ying Ran had eaten up all the potato chips. Seeing that Cui Er had dug up a few more potatoes and brought them back, Ying Ran said to Cui Er.

“Tell Zhou Qing and Jin’er later that they will release the news of their second brother and foster brother coming to Yelan, and spread the reason for Great Wei to send troops to Yelan as well. I want to see how the Emperor will protect Zuoxian Palace this time, and how he will connive at Helian Lanying.”

Do you really think I’m a sick cat if I don’t show my might? Rabbits can bite when they’re anxious, not to mention I’m a wolf by nature.

“Yes, Eldest Miss, servant also feels that we should give them a warning. Otherwise, they won’t take you seriously anymore.” Cui’er came to Ye Lan with Ying Ran.

Along the way, the assassinations continued. His Highness the Crown Prince did not leave a single person alive. The eldest young miss had several times left a single person alive. She also asked Helian Lanying who was the mastermind behind the scenes. However, neither His Highness the Crown Prince nor Yelan gave any explanation to the eldest young miss.

Seeing this, Cui Er’s heart was filled with grievances. However, she didn’t have any power at that time and could only swallow her anger. But now, it’s different. We have the ability to fight back. Of course, it’s time to get justice back.

“Mm, it’s time to counterattack. Otherwise, I would have almost forgotten that I am Fu Yingran. I have been living in Ye Lan for the past few months. I really feel wronged.” Thinking that Fu Yingran had lived for two lifetimes, she would always take revenge if she had a grudge. When had she ever felt so aggrieved?

“That’s right, even this servant can’t look over. This servant will go tell Jin’er and the others to be careful. There is still a little master in your stomach.” Cui Er said as she turned around and left.

Ying Ran watched Cui’er leave the house and saw that Cui shi was still there, so he asked, “Where is sister-in-law? When did she arrive at this manor?”

“Young miss, this servant is a member of the Great Wei Empire. I have been recruiting people since the manor. This servant is already in the manor.” Mrs. Cui’s unhurried and unhurried reply was completely unlike the restraint a peasant woman should have.

Ying Ran stared at her for a long time before saying, “From today onwards, you can come to my side to work. Jin’er Cui’er and the others have things to do, and now I can’t lack people.” For those who were uncertain, it was better to put them under his nose and rest assured.

Ying Ran felt in a trance that this Cui Clan was probably not simple. Hopefully, she was a friend but not an enemy. After all, their current situation was not optimistic.

“Yes, Young Miss. This servant will definitely serve Young Miss with all his heart.” Ying Ran immediately saw that Madam Cui was still not humble and arrogant, thinking that if Madam Cui was not a spy, then she would be the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family in distress.
